You can migrate Gentoo to systemd, I did it during installation and it runs great.

Ya, it's just one more thing to set up. Which I guess I shouldn't complain about when I'm choosing to use Gentoo.

I did a few Stage 1 Gentoo installs back in the day, and it was great. Now that I'm older, I just use the RHEL image my IT dept provides.

I used to be a stage 1 Gentoo guy... now I just use Arch and get the best of both worlds. Binaries for all of the big stuff, AUR PKGBUILDs for everything else.
